Payment card issuers are waging war on cash by introducing contactless cards for low-value transactions.
Purchases are made using a contactless card by placing it within a few centimetres of a card reader, which uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to extract data.
Since a signature or personal identity number is not required for most small purchases, transactions can be carried out rapidly – without necessarily removing the card from a wallet.
Consumers in the UK make about 27bn cash transactions a year, worth £250bn, and about 80 per cent of these are for purchases of less than £10, according to Visa International estimates.
“Card issuers are aggressively trying to increase the size of their market, and the enemy is cash,” says Christophe Uzureau, a banking analyst at research house Gartner.
“They want to replace as many cash transactions as possible with card transactions, so they can earn fees.”
Contactless payment cards have already been successfully implemented in transport systems, notably the Octopus card in Hong Kong and the Oyster card in London, and both Mastercard’s PayPass and Visa’s Contactless systems have been piloted in the US.
JP Morgan Chase has also issued more than 6m credit and debit cards which include contactless technology under the name “blink”.
The blink system uses the existing Visa and Mastercard infrastructure to authorise payments, and at many retailers a signature is not required for transactions of less than $25. American Express has also introduced its ExpressPay contactless system on some Blue American Express cards.
Although card companies are driving the adoption of contactless technology, it offers significant benefits to retailers, such as fast food outlets and convenience stores, where typical transaction values are low. These include higher transaction speeds, increased transaction values, and lower cash handling costs.
“We’ve found that transactions carried out using blink are three to five seconds faster than credit card transactions, and seven to nine seconds faster than cash transactions,” says Rob Williams, controller at The Bailey Co, parent company of Arby’s, a fast food restaurant chain based in the US.
He adds: “This means each Arby’s employee can get more customers through per hour, so we get higher productivity.”
Mr Williams has found that customers spend about 50 per cent more when they use a contactless card than when they pay for their food with cash: “I think it is psychological: because customers are not pulling cash out of their wallet, they spend more.” Arby’s has also made productivity gains with less time being spent on counting money and taking it to the bank, Mr Williams says.
Another benefit to retailers is that cards allow them to capture data about their customers from small transactions.
“If contactless cards offer merchants better information on their customers, that could prove to be valuable,” says Mr Uzureau.
So far, Europe has lagged behind the US in the introduction of contactless payment cards, although Royal Bank of Scotland plans to run limited trials of MasterCard’s PayPass system in the UK this summer. Visa also plans a trial of its Visa Contactless later in the year.
In the US, each transaction is authorised online just like a credit or debit card transaction, but in the UK transactions under £10 will usually be “offline” – the card will interact with the card reader, but the authorisation process will be skipped – making them even faster. To provide security, shoppers must enter a Pin after a set number of offline transactions.
Mr Uzureau warns that although lowering the security requirements for contactless transactions may make them faster, this risks scaring off security-conscious users. But with a Pin-free transaction limit of just £10 they are unlikely to be big targets for criminals.
Debit cards accounted for more retail spending than cash last year for the first time in the UK, according to payments association Apacs.
If contactless cards prove successful, paying cash may soon be a thing of the past.

VIENNA, Austria, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Austrian watchmaker LAKS, which has often caused a sensation in the past with its innovative products, has introduced a breakthrough product for cashless transactions. Its latest development, the LAKS SmartTransaction Watch(TM), is the world's first watch equipped with MasterCard(R) PayPass(TM), a new "contactless" payment feature that provides consumers with a fast and convenient alternative to cash for their everyday small purchases.
MasterCard PayPass offers consumers a convenient alternative to cash that allows for small purchases to be completed quickly, securely and easily. Consumers no longer need to fumble for cash and coins, swipe a card, or sign a receipt for any PayPass purchase under USD 25,- (over USD 25,- signature and receipt are required).

In his words: "The invention of the LAKS SmartTransaction Watch(TM), equipped with MasterCard PayPass, has once again put LAKS a step ahead of the game. To obtain compliance with MasterCard PayPass specifications, we built high security specifications into an analog watch. Our watches are now set to enter one of the most exciting markets of the future."
Launched in line with the upcoming 2006 FIFA World Cup(TM) in Germany, the watch has been created in collaboration with Chinatrust Commercial Bank, one of the largest credit card issuers in Taiwan, LAKS GmbH, a well-known Austrian watchmaker and On Track Innovations Ltd. (OTI) (NASDAQ: OTIV), a global leader in contactless microprocessor-based smart card solutions.
LAKS has produced these "wrist-worn payment devices" on behalf of Chinatrust. The limited edition Chinatrust 2006 FIFA World Cup(TM) MasterCard PayPass watch is being issued as a companion device to MasterCard credit cards and has been designed in celebration of the FIFA World Cup. The watch has a sporty exterior that showcases soccer ball images on its face and will be offered to consumers in three vibrant colors - green, blue and orange.
LAKS founded 1986 by Lucas Scheybal, and is a true family firm. Quality is the key to success for LAKS - only finest materials are used. The company's engineers are involved in every stage of the development process from the technologically advanced designs through to the production of flawless watches.
